US Military Intervention

US Coast Guard Says It Intercepted Ship Carrying Fuel To Cuba

October 5, 2026 Dave DeCamp, AntiWar.com. , , ,
The US Coast Guard said Friday that its forces intercepted a ship that was attempting to bring fuel to Cuba, as the US continues to enforce a ramped-up oil embargo on the country, which has caused a devastating humanitarian crisis. The Coast Guard said that the incident occurred in early September, when a “Coast Guard tactical team” boarded the M/V Grace, a 300-foot-long container ship, in the Caribbean Sea. The Coast Guard said it then escorted the ship to Mexico, where Mexican authorities found fuel stored in the ship’s ballast tanks. It said that earlier in the summer, US Coast Guard personnel stopped and boarded the M/V Jaira Provider, another vessel it accused of carrying fuel bound for Cuba.

United States Meddling In Brazilian Elections

August 19, 2026 Alan MacLeod, Mintpress News. , , , ,
The United States is interfering in the Brazilian presidential elections, pressuring the Brazilian electorate into voting for right-wing candidate Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of disgraced former president, Jair Bolsonaro. If that does not work and President Lula da Silva secures a fourth term in office, the groundwork is already being laid for a potential military intervention. From sanctions and economic warfare, to coaching influencers and journalists on how best to attack the left-wing government, the Trump administration is doing everything it can to overthrow Lula. 

SOUTHCOM Announces New Military Campaign

August 8, 2026 Samuel Karlin, Left Voice. , , , ,
The United States is once again escalating its presence in Latin America. On August 4, U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) published a video announcing that it is transitioning from Joint Task Force-Southern Spear to Joint Task Force-Western Hemisphere (JTF-WHEM). Beyond the jargon and aggrandizement typical of U.S. military announcements, what this essentially means is that the United States is going from violating Latin American sovereignty in the waters of the Caribbean to violating sovereignty by carrying out operations inland.

The US Empire’s 25-Year War On Venezuela

June 25, 2026 Matt Willgress, Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
Donald Trump's attack on Venezuela and kidnapping of President Nicolas Maduro nearly six months ago (January 3 2026) marked a dangerous and deadly escalation in Washington’s long-running campaign against the Venezuelan people. This is an ongoing war for Venezuela’s oil — the largest proven oil reserves in the world, and the attacks followed the seizure of numerous tankers carrying Venezuelan oil. It is also the first step in a new strategy to turn the whole of Latin America back into a US colony, seeking to reassert total domination in the region. It’s now 100 per cent clear, less than six months later, that this will not stop with Venezuela. Trump is openly threatening Colombia, Mexico, and Cuba, among others.

Cuba Solidarity Protesters Denounce US Blockade And Invasion Plans

June 2, 2026 Lyna Bentahar, The Indypendent. , , ,
Dozens of demonstrators convened Sunday in front of Moynihan Train Hall to protest the United States’ oil blockade on Cuba and raise awareness of the dire conditions there. Virtually no fuel is allowed to enter the country since the Trump administration ordered the blockade in January, halting essential services like health care and sanitation. At the same time, the Trump administration has threatened “take” Cuba, and media reports have suggested President Donald Trump has taken greater interest in the island since entering a stalemate with Iran in the war the United States has waged there.

United States Grips Cuba In ‘Medieval Siege’, Threatens Invasion

June 1, 2026 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , ,
Only one tanker of oil has been delivered to Cuba this year as the United States imposes a brutal economic blockade enforced through a naval occupation and threats of force. The ramifications are tremendous - industries and transportation have shut down, what little food is available is rotting due to lack of refrigeration and hospitals are unable to provide life-saving care. Clearing the FOG speaks with Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODEPINK, who has been leading humanitarian delegations to Cuba, about the crisis, retaliation against her and others for their efforts and the possibility of a military invasion.

Chavista Mobilization Repudiates US Military’s Provocative Power Projection Exercise

May 24, 2026 Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
A US power projection exercise disguised as an evacuation drill at the US Embassy in Caracas began Saturday morning. The operation, authorized by Venezuelan authorities, was allegedly aimed at refining response protocols for potential medical emergencies or catastrophic events, though anti-imperialist critics view it as a veiled act of intimidation. “Ensuring the army’s rapid response capability is a key component of mission preparedness, both here in Venezuela and around the world,” the US Embassy stated online, framing the provocative maneuver as routine administrative upkeep, and reiterating its imperialist three-phase plan for Venezuela (“stabilization, recovery, and transition”).

President Diaz-Canel Calls To Avoid US Imperialist Aggression On Cuba

May 4, 2026 TeleSur, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
The president of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, called on the international community this Saturday to determine whether it will allow Washington to militarily attack his country after the U.S. President, Donald Trump, said he would take control of the island “almost immediately.” “The president of the U.S. is escalating his threats of military aggression against Cuba to a dangerous and unprecedented scale,” Díaz-Canel denounced on social media, adding: “The international community must take note and, together with the people of the U.S., determine whether such a drastic criminal act will be allowed.”

After The US Bombing, A Venezuelan Community Under Siege Speaks

April 23, 2026 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. , , , , ,
The large-scale US airstrike on Venezuela was unprecedented in modern history. The surprise attack forcibly kidnapped President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, First Combatant Cilia Flores, from Fort Tiuna on the outskirts of Caracas. The US killed over 100 people in the early morning hours of January 3, 2026, including reportedly some civilians in the neighboring Ciudad Tiuna social housing complex. We visited Ciudad Tiuna 50 days after the US bombing to hear the resident’s accounts. We were the second “solidarity brigade” to visit Venezuela and the first to arrive by air.

Delegates from governments, parliaments, and social movements across the globe gathered in Bogotá, Colombia, on January 25 for the inaugural “Nuestra América” summit. Convened by the Progressive International at the San Carlos Palace, the emergency congress aimed to establish a unified strategy against what participants described as a “rapidly escalating assault” on Latin American sovereignty. The high-level meeting, featuring 90 people from more than 20 countries, took place against a backdrop of heightened regional tensions and the Trump administration’s express intent to impose its dictates in the Western hemisphere.

Inside Venezuela’s Response To Donald Trump’s Attack

January 4, 2026 Bhaskar Sunkara, Jacobin Magazine. , , , ,
Yesterday the United States carried out a direct military attack on Venezuela, abducting President Nicolás Maduro and conducting strikes around Caracas — a grave violation of international law that risks plunging the region into wider conflict. To understand how Venezuelan officials and supporters of the Bolivarian project are interpreting these events — and what they believe comes next — Jacobin founding editor Bhaskar Sunkara spoke last night with Carlos Ron, a former Venezuelan diplomat who served as one of the government’s principal interlocutors with the United States during years of sanctions and diplomatic confrontation.

US Bombs Venezuela, Whereabouts Of President Maduro Unknown

January 3, 2026 Zoe Alexandra and Devin B. Martinez, People's Dispatch. , , ,
Explosions were reported at key military bases, civilian areas, and other sites across the Venezuelan capital of Caracas and surrounding areas in the early hours of Saturday, January 3. The Venezuelan government said in an official statement that the attack was perpetrated by the United States and constitutes a “grave military aggression” against “Venezuelan territory and population”. In a post on his Truth Social platform after the attack, Trump said that the Venezuelan president had been removed from the country by the US, with more details to come in a press conference in Mar-a-Lago at 11 am.

Protest Against Awarding Nobel Prize To Far-Right Maria Corina Machado

December 9, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , ,
On Sunday, a broad alliance of Norwegian groups dedicated to peace and solidarity announced a demonstration planned for Tuesday, December 9, in condemnation of the Nobel Committee’s decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to Venezuelan far-right politician María Corina Machado. Machado has publicly called for a US military intervention against Venezuela, supports the over 1,000 unilateral coercive measures imposed on the country, has played a key role in orchestrating violent and destabilizing actions, and has links to criminal drug trafficking organizations.

‘Venezuela, The Threat Of A Good Example’

December 7, 2025 Cira Pascual Marquina, Venezuelanalysis. , , ,
As Washington intensifies its hybrid war against Venezuela—combining sanctions, lawfare, psychological operations, and military threats—the South American country once again finds itself in the headlines. To understand this moment, Cira Pascual Marquina spoke with Geraldina Colotti, an Italian journalist, revolutionary militant, and former political prisoner who has engaged with Venezuela for decades. Colotti argues that the current offensive against the Caribbean nation is part of a broader imperial strategy to reassert US hegemony amid a terminal crisis of global capitalism. Drawing parallels with Iraq, Libya, Palestine, and Vietnam, she explains how the Bolivarian Revolution represents the “threat of a good example” and why, despite suffocating sanctions and relentless destabilization, Venezuela continues to be a living paradigm of popular resistance.

Venezuela Under Siege: A Hundred Deaths At Sea; Hundreds Of Thousands By Sanctions

November 22, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. , , ,
Most of the world looks on in disbelief at the now-routine murders on the high seas off Venezuela’s coast – serial killings that the newly minted War Department calls Operation Southern Spear. On October 31, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk condemned the attacks, saying that the “mounting human costs are unacceptable.” The People’s Social Summit in Colombia (November 8-9) excoriated Washington. Four days later in Caracas, a meeting of jurists from 35 countries denounced the “homicidal rampage.” The Military Law Task Force of the National Lawyers Guild charged “egregious war crimes and violations of international human rights, maritime, and military law.”
